Venkatesha Sahasranamam Audio

Most of us are familiar with Sri Venkatesha Suprabhatam; especially the rendering of the same by Smt. M.S. Subbalakshmi. However, here we deal with the Venkatesha Sahasranama Stotram dealing with the thousand names and qualities of Sri Vishnu in the form of Sri Venkatesha. As one listens to the hymn, the various Divine deeds of Sri Krishna, Sri Narasimha, etc can be found embedded along with names of several Parivaara Devathas ( family of Deities ) and Maharishis.

The benefits of listening to or reciting this hymn starts at verse 170 (31 minutes 18 seconds into the audio) and continues till the end. By simply listening to this, several blemishes get cleaned up and diseases get cured (verse 171); one’s enemies get overpowered and bad planetary afflictions and effects of evil spirits get removed (verse 173 ); one desirous of education and knowledge and one desirous of wealth acquires them (verse 174); one who desires progeny gets the same and one wanting debatory success in the assembly of men succeeds (verse 175). One who worships Sri Venkateshwara with this hymn using Tulasi leaves ends up eventually seeing the Lord Who lives in Vaikuntha. (verse 176); one who listens to / recites this hymn even once a month gets poverty removed from his life and thrice a month is provided great fortunes (verse 180). Verse 182 states that this hymn has the power to calm a tumultuous mind and strengthens it and after providing a person a long disease free life ends up offering mukthi.

Detailed meaning of each name/quality is expounded at the following link:
